Florida Corporation is one of the advantages that company and shareholders principals are trying to build. It should be incorporated so that they can separate their own personal shares to the business. In Florida, filing for paper works for your corporation is now lower that 25% percent. The Florida Department of Corporations will ask only $70 for the fee. It is already an advantage and you can experience more such as lower tax and easy access to foreign investors. Filing through snail mail will take you 5 to 7 business days to process. But if you file through online, it will only take 1 to 3 business days. If you decided to file online, you can read the instructions below:

Search on Sunbiz site for your name if it’s still available or not. They have the database for all the Florida corporations built on that place. Click here, www.sunbiz.org.
